/**
* Auto Fit Text To Image

* Write text to image using a target width, height, and starting font size.

*
* @access public
* @param bool $canvas_image_filename (default: false) The base image.
* @param string $dest_filename (default: 'output.jpg') The output filename.
* @param string $text (default: '') The text being written.
* @param int $starting_font_size (default: 60) The starting (max) font size.
* @param int $max_height (default: 500) The maximum height in lines of text.
* @param int $x_pos (default: 0) X position in pixels for first line of text.
* @param int $y_pos (default: 0) Y position in pixels for first line of text.
* @param bool $font_file (default: false) Path to font file (.ttf)
* @param string $font_color (default: 'black') The color. Also accepts rgba values. Example: "rgba(0,0,0,0.5)"
* @param int $line_height_ratio (default: 1) Allows scaling the line height. Should be between 0.1 and 1.
* @param string $dest_format (default: 'jpg') Output format.
* @return bool True: success, False: failure
